~Herbal Tinctures~

(AKA The Royalty Of Our Line)

All tinctures are made with:

  • Alkaline/Ionized Water
  • Organic Alcohol
  • Organic or Wildcrafted Herbs
  • A synergistic Adaptogen herb

Adaptogen/Endocrine Formula
Adaptogens are believed to influence the body’s deep immune response by balancing the peaks received from the highs and crashes from stress, caffeine, etc. Adaptogens nourish the Endocrine system which is responsible for Immune Function, Hormone Balance, Cortisol control, and more.

Herbs: Ashwaganda, Astragalus, Eleuthero, Holy Basil, Rhodiola, Schisandra,

 

Anxiety/Calm Formula
With the increased taxing of our Endocrine systems, a rise of my client base was requesting a formula to help ease anxiousness when under stress.

Herbs: Bacopa, Lemon Balm, Milky Oat Tops, Rhodiola, Schisandra, Wood Betony

 

Bitters / Digestion Formula
The standard American diet has been cited to lack bitters, which are a signal to your liver to begin digestion.  I use this formula regularly to aid in digestion, especially when eating out or eating heavy meals.

Herbs: Artichoke leaf, Cardamom, Chamomile, Holy Basil, Gentian, Sage, Yarrow

 

Brain / Memory
Whether aging, stress or diet, many of my friends and family cited problems with poor memory & recall.  I love to use this formula before attending a class/workshop.

Herbs: Ashwaganda, Bacopa, Fo-Ti, Gingko, Korean Ginseng, Hawthorn, Rosemary

 

Headache Formula
This formula developed to aid clients who suffer from chronic headaches.  In addition to the herbs, Peppermint essential oil is added, which is used in Aromatherapy for headache relief.

Herbs: Ashwaganda, Feverfew, Ginger, Jamaican Dogwood, Lemon Balm, Linden, Passionflower, Skullcap, White Willow, Yarrow, Peppermint essential oil.

 

Heart & Blood Pressure Formula
After several years with high blood pressure I created this formula to try and reduce it naturally.  I was able to reduce it 12 point after taking the formula for two weeks!

Herbs: Astragalus, Cayenne, Dandelion leaf, Hawthorn, Garlic, Ginkgo, Motherwort, Nettle

Immune Formula
Often, when our deep immune system is taxed, our bodies call upon our ancillary immune system when attacked by pathogens.

Herbs: Acerola Cherry, Astragalus, Echinacea purpurea root, Elder berries, Eleuthero, Garlic, Usnea, Wild Indigo

Kidney/Bladder
I developed this formula for clients who are recovering from infections as well as those who want support and strengthening for the kidneys and bladder during a cleanse.

Herbs: Agrimony, Burdock, FoTi, Goldenrod, Gravel root, Irish Moss, Nettle, Pipsissewa, Uva Ursi

 

Liver/Gallbladder Formula
This formula was created to prevent having my gall bladder removed due to gallstones.  My doctor insisted I had to have surgery but I knew there had to be an alternative.  I had to alter my diet as well provide herbal support & liver cleansing, but over a decade later I still have my gallbladder!  I recommend using this formula as a tool when doing a Liver Cleanse to help support & strengthen the liver.
Herbs:Barberry, Boldo, Dandelion root, Fringetree, Garlic, Milk Thistle, Shisandra, Tumeric, Yellow Dock

 

Lung Formula
It seems to me that whenever I have a cold/cough that congestion in my lungs extends weeks past the sniffles and keeps me from feeling healthy.  It was primarily for that reason that I developed this formula.  Since then I have recommended it to clients who are quitting smoking to help the lung tissues recover.

Herbs:Elecampane, Fennel, Horehound, Licorice, Marshmallow, Mullein, Osha, Shatavari

 

Lymph Formula
The lymphatic system is so vital for fighting infection that I wanted to create something to provide support.  I use this at the beginning of Winter in preparation for the season and at the beginning of Spring as a cleanser & rejuvenator for my lymph.

Herbs:  Calendula, Cleavers, FoTi, Poke, Red Root, Wild Indigo

 

Male  Autumn Rejuvenator
I developed this for male clients seeking aid in some of the changes men go through as they mature such as lower energy, recovering slower from exercise, losing muscle mass, lower testosterone, depression, and lower libido.

Herbs:Ashwaganda, Chickweed, Damiana, Eleuthero, FoTi, Ginkgo, Gotu Kola, Licorice, Milky Oat Tops, Saw Palmetto

 

Menopause Formula
I developed this for clients going through menopause who asked for a formula that would aid with the common symptoms of the process, such as night sweats, hot flashes, depression and lower libido.

Herbs: Astragalus, Chaste Tree Berry (Vitex), Damiana, Dong Quai Root, Licorice root, Maca, Motherwort, St. John’s Wort

 

Moon Balance Formula
This was the first formula I created.  After over 15 years with severe menstrual cramping and every PMS symptom (bloating, soreness, crankiness, etc.) I was ready for relief!

Herbs: Bacopa, Black Cohosh, Chaste Tree Berry (Vitex), Cocoa Nibs, Dandelion leaf, Dong Quai, Milky Oat Tops, Passionflower, Shatavari, Skullcap, Valerian

 

Nerve / Mood
There are definitely times when I feed a little on edge, when my life seems hectic and a little overwhelming.  I wanted to create something to supplement those times with nutritive and calming herbs and provide support to my nervous system.

Herbs:  Ashwaganda, Bacopa, CA Poppy, Damiana, Lavender, Lemon Balm, Mugwort, Nettles, Milky Oat Tops, Skullcap

Stress Rejuvenation
I had a couple of clients/friends ask for a  tonic with nutritive & adaptogenic herbs with circulatory herbs to have a rejuvenating effect.

Herbs:Astragalus, Eluthero, Damiana, Fo-Ti, Hawthorn, Holy Basil, Milky Oat Tops, Nettles, Rosemary

 

Throat Spray

I was doing extensive travel when I came down with what I thought was a cold & sore throat (it turned out to be pneumonia). I had bought numerous throat sprays which either worked well and tasted awful or tasted yummy and didn’t work well for me.  When I recovered I decided to tackle that challenge and now I use it when I have a sore throat but also when I am doing speaking engagements.

Ingredients: Echinacea purpurea, Ginger, Oregon Grape Root, Marshmallow, Nettle leaf, Osha, Usnea, Glycerine, & Peppermint E. O.

 

 

Herbal Body Oils

(Unsung heroines of Herbal Medicine)

The skin is your largest organ and it absorbs in to your system what is placed on it topically.  As an herbalist I realize the value of using herbal medicine topically as well as internally.  I recommend that you apply these oils after your shower as well as bring it to your massage therapist for use during your session.

  • Olive, Grape Seed, Apricot Seed, Jojoba, Coconut & Vitamin E
